Sempre lembro daquela poesia que circulou pelos emails ha algum tempo atras, acho que de autoria do Fernando Verissimo, sobre o verao nas praias do Brasil. Adoro aquele texto, se alguem quiser me mandar sinta-se a vontade!Em Vancouver, nesta epoca do ano, eh como se a vida voltasse a reinar. Passarinhos, flores, pessoas e mais pessoas surgem de nao sei onde. Estava impossivel andar de bicicleta

Gente, tenho o pressentimento de que agora as coisas vao andar!! A MJ voltou!! Hj ela respondeu o meu email. O que nos ja sabemos, que realmente a fila eh longa e que existem certos procedimentos que fazem com que o processo demore mesmo. E tambem eu tinha algumas duvidas pelo fato de eu estar morando em Vancouver, como eu iria fazer com o passaporte, pois ouvi dizer que nao se pode enviar esse

O tempo esta passando rapido, ate para mim, desempregada e candidata a imigrante na infinita fila de espera pelo visto. Tenho lido varios blogs de outros brasileiros que estao vindo para ca e que tambem estao na mesma angustia que essa longa espera nos traz, e ajuda saber que um dia tera fim (sera??).Meu pedido de exames medicos foi feito ha mais de 2 meses atras, enviei tudo o mais depressa

Minha familia toda e de artistas: meu pai e artista plastico, minha mae e psicologa, minhas irmas: Artes Plasticas, Desenho Industrial e a cacula quase-advogada - e todos tocam algum instrumento musical!! Somente eu, a ovelha negra, resolvi ir para a area de Exatas. Mas nao e que tem um sanguinho artistico correndo nas minhas veias?Ultimamente tenho procurado atividades diferentes que me facam

A paranoia de verificar a caixa de correio esta se transformando numa sindrome. Hoje, ao inves de checar o correio, vi que o carro deles estava estacionado em frente ao predio e fiquei esperando o carteiro entrar e sair do predio, dai eu sai correndo e fui checar a caixa. E la vi aquelas porcarias de anuncio de loja de roupa barata e folder de pizzaria. Ah! que tristeza... nao aguento mais essa

Because I've been through all kinds of stress and only eating crap lately, I've decided to become a vegan for one week. And, in a daily basis, (try) to report the results in my blog. So, let's see what happens with me in this week. It's going to be a challenge, of course, but with a little of determination, I may thrive!! The goal is to eat 6 times/day, every 3 - 4 hours, up to 1500 calories/day.

Some people have asked me how can I live in a country for 2 years without being able to do things, to work, or to go to school, or... whatever. The fact is living in a country as a visitor for 2 years is not an easy thing. It is a challenge that has to be overcame in a daily basis.But I feel now I am so used to here that would be hard to get used to the life in Brazil again. Things are so

Minha papelada da imigracao esta quase chegando, e por motivos obvios, estou com um pouco de receio de procurar emprego, por cause da crise. Ninguem contrata, muitas companhias estao demitindo os funcionarios e ta todo mundo assustado ou receoso com o problema financeiro do mundo. Mas eu sou otimista, entao assim que chegarem os meus papeis (e minha permissao para trabalhar) eu sentirei como esta

As most people know, February is a great month in Brazil - it is the Carnaval, time when everyone goes party. Not everyone, of course, but the fact that Brazilians have a 4 and a half day of holidays is a big deal there. Even the ones who don't like partying, they use the mini vacations to go to the beach, or visit their families, or do something nice and use those days. It is a nice time to be

The title of this post reminds me of Abba...A few days ago I had a dream about a bee that stung me in the back of my feet. It hurt so much, even at the dream, so much!It made me think about things. Personally I believe that sometimes dreams mean something that is happening in you real life, so I looked at the meaning of dreams (online) and found out that when you dream about a bee stinging you it

For several reasons, some explained in other posts, some personal reasons, I decided to become a candidate to a Canadian life. It is not a very complicated immigrating system when you read the guidelines, but when you are there, living everyday expecting something to happen in your life, then you know that you were wrong.I applied as a Skilled Worker, through the Federal Simplified Process, which

So I was lucky. I am a lucky person.In my first week here it snowed for 3 days. Three days!! Today I know that was not snow, was more like a hail than real snow. But I was happy, opening my mouth and trying to taste the "snow". Of touching it in that cold day...Something about the ice that people should know is that when is cold and the water freezes at the sidewalks, it formed what is called

My trip started in March, 03 2006. I took a bus from Campinas to Guarulhos Airport at 3:30 pm, Saturday. I had an overnight flight with Air Canada and was so excited about my first international flight!Everything went well in the airport, everything so new and vivid, different people from all over the world, the place totally crowded, so many languages heard. It was like the world was opened to

Many people can think this is crazyness, but the first time when I started thinking about moving to another country was when I was 15, 16 years-old. I always thought about doing an interchange in another country, like Australia, so I would learn English and I would have an amazing experience.So I went to Rotary, international organization known for having house exchange for young students.

Another day I was reading some news in a local newspaper and I got kind of itchy while went through a real story about an experiment with a locavore family.Meantime: the term “locavore” means people who are decided to consume food produced locally (or something like products grown or harvested within a 100 miles away from their homes).So this family decided to live in a small farm in the middle

I created this blog for just one reason: to have a virtual space to say to every (virtual) soul who read this what is going inside my crooked and rough brain. Sometimes we are like a pearl shell that bright because of years and years of politeness... but inside we are like a violent volcano ready to explode. If you feel like this, welcome to my world!
